Title 18 - Unified Development Ordinance

18.380.080 Special Events during Summer of 2026

During the summer of 2026, the Kansas City metropolitan area will host several international sporting events, which will likely foster several related Special Event applications during this period. The Governing Body recognizes the unique and special regional significance of these international sporting events as well as the importance of staff having the appropriate authority and ability to review and approve such Special Event applications for durations that might exceed the time limitations that staff is ordinarily authorized to approve. Accordingly, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 18.380.040 through 18.380.070, the time limitation and the number of events restrictions for staff approvals for Type 1, Type 2, Type 3 and Type 4 Special Events are hereby suspended during the period of June 1, 2026 through July 31, 2026. Provided, this Section shall not apply to any staff approval for a Special Event that extends beyond or is after July 31, 2026, and all other applicable review criteria and other city requirements shall remain in full force and effect.
